Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup cantaloupe melon
  • 4-6 fresh mint leaves plus more for garnish
  • 1 1/2 oz. rum like Bacardi
  • 2 Tablespoons simple syrup
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • club soda to top off drink

Instructions
 

  • In a cocktail shaker, add the melon and mint leaves. Muddle together. (Crush well to mash the melon and mint together.)
  • To the muddled melon and mint, add in the rum, simple syrup and lime juice. Add in ice.
  • Add the lid to the cocktail shaker and secure tightly. Shake vigorously. In a glass, pour the mixture over ice. Top the drink with club soda. Garnish with melon balls and or mint leaves, if you prefer. Drink right away while cold.

Notes

Optional: Add in 1 oz. of Midori liqueur to the drink. It will give it a more vibrant green color.
Melon: Feel free to substitute honeydew melon for cantaloupe, or use a combination of both melons.
